Lyrics
Remember we held you
Remembering the support given to the subject.
Our bodies pressed against you
Close physical contact with the subject.
We required nothing more
No additional demands beyond what was already provided.
Than what you'd provided for
Content with what the subject has given.
The rings they tell me
Reference to symbolic rings, possibly signifying problems.
How sickness befell thee
Awareness of sickness affecting the subject.
And all the wrongs we've dealt thee
Acknowledgment of wrongs done despite generosity.
In spite of your generosity
Recognition of the subject's generosity despite shortcomings.
It was all of my energy
Investing excessive energy, possibly more than desired.
More than I wanted to give
Reluctance or dissatisfaction with the amount given.
I am empty
Feeling emotionally drained or depleted.
I won't give more
Refusal to give more due to emptiness.
Am I still invited to stay
Questioning if still welcome despite past contributions.
I've worn my welcome
Feeling unwelcome, having exhausted goodwill.
There was more before I came
Acknowledging existence of more prior to arrival.
We've eaten unrestrained but now
Indulging without limits, but now facing consequences.
These green fruits will remain sour
Anticipating continued difficulties or challenges.
These clouds we've made cannot make rain
Acknowledging that created problems can't solve current issues.
I gave you all of my energy
Complete investment of energy given without gratitude.
And you took it without thanks
Subject took energy without expressing thanks.
You once showed such promise
Recalling past potential that is not fulfilled.
But now I won't give more
Refusing to give more due to unfulfilled promise.
I won't give / We just want more
Declining to give more; expressing desire for more from others.
